Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't just about roaming the Wild West in search of adventure, fame, and money. At the beginning of his long journey, Arthur Morgan has the chance to meet a stranger who will offer him a very peculiar task: finding all Cigarette Cards. Arthur won't have to it for free, though, as he gets some very nice rewards once a complete set of cards has been sent to the stranger.
To start the "Smoking, and other Hobbies" sidequest, Arthur has to go to Flatneck Station in Chapter 2. There, he will meet Phineas T. Ramsbottom, who reveals his card collecting hobby and tasks the outlaw with finding all of the Cigarette Cards.
There are a total of 144 Cigarette Cards divided into 12 different sets. They can be obtained in two different ways.
The first one is to purchase Premium Cigarette packs and open them, as each one includes a random Cigarette Cards. Finding all of them by purchasing cigarette packs is far from being ideal, as the card you'll get is completing random, and it's possible to find duplicates.
The second way is to find them in a precise location, which isn't any less time consuming, but it's a much better way. Below, you will find the full list of cards and details on where to find each and one of them.
